Students at Louisiana Tech University have passed a new student fee and renewed a previous fee that will support the construction and improvement of several campus facilities, and provide for new recreational and outdoor classroom spaces.

The assessment was voted on during Louisiana Tech’s annual Student Government general elections held recently, with 84 percent of students who voted approving the $50 quarterly fee.
“This is a multifaceted fee that will impact numerous programs across our campus,” said Jim King, vice president for student affairs at Tech.
